KC Concepcion — 2026 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 2.0

Drafting for need is rarely ideal, but it's necessary here. The Browns need playmakers, multiple, and after going with Fano in the top 10, they use their second first-round pick on Concepcion. The Cleveland offense is getting what might end up as a complete overhaul, but Concepcion fits in any version of the remodel because he's explosive and can contribute at multiple wide receiver positions. There's a chance new Browns coach Todd Monken, the former Baltimore offensive coordinator, views him as at least a little like Zay Flowers. The Browns are focused on the future and can see Concepcion becoming a big part of their path forward.

Tetairoa McMillan was a hit for the Panthers last year, but they could use a complement for him in the offense, and KC Concepcion feels like a good fit alongside him. He's not huge, but he plays bigger than his size. He reminds me a bit of former Panthers WR Steve Smith.

Seattle finds insurance for Rashid Shaheed, who could depart in free agency. Concepcion brings speed on offense and is a dynamic returner who took two punts back for touchdowns in 2025.

The 49ers are desperate for help at wide receiver and edge rusher this offseason, but the latter has a natural lift coming with the return of Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams from ACL injuries. However, their top wide receiver (Jauan Jennings) is a free agent and Brandon Aiyuk is all but gone from the team.

Concepcion is an explosive play waiting to happen, as he scored 25 receiving touchdowns in three college seasons and took a pair of punts to the house during his lone season at Texas A&M. He's a contender for the fastest wideout in the class and would be a fun player for coach Kyle Shanahan.
